This type of charter makes for the ideal sailing holiday in the British Virgin Islands. It’s truly suited for everyone – if you don’t know how to sail – it’s perfect and if you do know how to sail, but just want to relax and let someone else do all the hard work and the cooking, it’s also perfect.

Great for couples, singles and families, everyone will enjoy their BVI experience aboard one of these luxury crewed catamarans.

Here’s how it works…

Rent a stateroom with your own private bathroom, just as you can on a cruise ship but, instead of a thousand new acquaintances, you will just have a few new friends. Your professional crew manages the sailing around the British Virgin Islands and a cook prepares your meals from fresh local produce. Sometimes your crew will even catch fresh Tuna or Mahi Mahi right off the catamaran!

All the frustrating aspects and stresses of life will be left behind and you will soon adapt to a more laid-back pace – one that allows you to follow the rhythms of the sea and tropical BVI trade winds. The catamaran’s shallow draft allows for entrance to special anchorages and snorkelling spots – places that large cruise ships can only dream of sharing with their passengers.

This is what YOU could be doing……
